BARF stands for Biologically Appropriate Raw Food. It’s a method of feeding raw meat and vegetables to your dog or cat.
Raw feeding has become increasingly popular in recent years. Because of unsafe pet food production and allergies, intolerances and modern diseases, many pet owners have been switching to fresh food preparation for their furry friends.
Why add supplements?
Meat, bones, and offal contain most of the nutrients the dog or cat needs. However, compared to “fresh” prey, your pet will not get them in sufficient quantities if you buy the base ingredients frozen or even fresh from the butchers. Blood, for example, is almost completely absent in meat you can buy.
If you start comparing the many suppliers of BARF supplements, you will notice quickly that not all of these products are 100% natural or in line with the ideals of raw feeding.
At AniForte, we believe that nature has the answers to many health problems in our pets. That’s why we specialise in developing supplements for raw feeding that are 100% natural and without any addition of synthetic ingredients or flavours. They all adhere to the latest scientific standards.
Here are the basic BARF supplements we offer:

Supplements for dogs - preventing health problems
Supplements are available for the immune system, bones and joints, for skin and coat and many other issues. The extra addition of certain nutrients can be useful for raw feeding and the health of your pet. They contribute to an improved supply to the metabolism and protect against possible deficiency symptoms in dogs. Especially in particular situations, your four-legged friend has a higher need for nutrients and needs more vitamins and minerals. With a specific diet, many symptoms can be alleviated and secondary diseases prevented. BARF supplements also serve as a precaution so that your furry friend does not get sick in the first place.
Special situations requiring nutrient addition:
- High activity
- Illness
- Change of coat
- Growth in puppies
- Pregnancy
- Increased stress (moving, travel)
- Feed change
However, when supplying your dog with additives, you need to be careful to use the correct dosage stated on the packaging.
